Key
questions
Transparency. Interaction. Seamless booking. These are the basics passengers expect from an airline website. But how well do Europe's 30 leading carriers actually deliver? Which airlines lead the way – and which trends and best practices are shaping the industry?
Who leads the
Benchmark
- 📊 Compare – your digital presence against Europe's leading carriers.
- 🎯 Understand – your strengths, gaps, and where competitors are ahead.
- 🚀 Improve – with targeted recommendations in a personal online session.
From benchmark to strategy. From insight to action.
Every year, we analyse how Europe's leading airlines present themselves digitally – across 135 criteria, from transparency and AI readiness to service and usability. The result is one of the most detailed pictures of airline digital performance available.
But data without action is just a report. That's why we work with airlines to turn benchmark insights into tailored digital strategies. Our approach is collaborative: we bring the data, the methodology, and the experience. You bring the context, the ambition, and the knowledge of your passengers. Together, we develop strategies that are focused, measurable, and built to deliver.

About the
analysis
The airline industry is moving fast – digitally, strategically, and in what passengers expect. But how well are Europe's leading carriers keeping up?
The Airline Benchmark provides answers. 30 airlines. 135 criteria. Three dimensions that matter: how transparently airlines communicate, how ready they are for the AI-driven future, and how well their websites serve passengers in practice.
🔍 A Look Inside the Industry – How transparently do airlines communicate their strategy, sustainability efforts, and financials? Only 2 out of 30 publish AI guidelines. Less than a third disclose their fleet’s carbon footprint.
🤖 Visibility & AI Readiness – How prepared are airlines for a future where passengers ask ChatGPT instead of Google? 29 out of 30 allow AI crawlers access – but only Wizz Air treats them as a genuine sales channel.
✈️ Service & Usability – How well does the website perform in practice? Only 40% offer a seamless booking process. 60% fall short on accessibility. And only 13% achieve acceptable mobile loading times.
The analysis is independent, data-driven, and designed to make differences visible – from corporate transparency and sustainability reporting to booking experience and accessibility.
